Daily painting: red and yellow onions

Original oil painting: Onions #3

Not every single one of my paintings has an Oktoberfest theme these days, although it is starting to feel that way. I’m still fitting in the occasional still life or cityscape here and there. Onions are one of my favorite still life subjects, I’ve decided. I especially like trying to capture the little stringy things that stick out at the end of them.

Do you have a favorite still life subject?

  1. @Mandi – Thanks! I never thought of them as a particularly attractive veggie until I started painting them.

    @Em – Eh, be smug all you want. That’s the main reason why people buy art, isn’t it? 🙂
